Chapter 187 The Shock of John V

Soon, the entire Byzantine palace was controlled by Luo Hang.

Because the people Luo Hang brought had guns.

Even some who disobeyed orders were directly executed by Luo Hang's soldiers on the spot.

Without the slightest sympathy.

Sophia stayed with John V throughout his life.

Late at night, John V woke up unsteadily.

His consciousness was still a little blurry.

But he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Daughter, where is my Sophia?"

"Father, my daughter is here!" Sophia came to the bedside and grabbed John V's hand.

John V asked: "Daughter, can you tell me, he... is he the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty? That man who single-handedly founded Zhenxi City and whose national power is extremely powerful!"

"Yes, my father." Sophia nodded.

"well!"

John V held Sophia's hand firmly, and then said to her: "My daughter, I believe you have also seen that the Ottomans continue to oppress us, but those principalities ignore our life and death. Over the years, the Crusades , when did they not come to our place to burn, kill and loot? They can no longer trust us. Byzantium is about to perish!"

Sophia quickly shook her head and said: "Father, don't worry, with my daughter here and your son-in-law here, he will not let us, Byzantium, perish."

"No!"

John V shook his head and said: "You are still young and don't understand. You don't know how ambitious a man can be after he has power... Including your husband, it must be the same! You listen to your father, as long as we As long as this lineage can be preserved. As for the kingdom... let it die! But the Ottomans must not be taken advantage of. Now, go and ask the justice officer to come and tell him that the king wants to make an order. Starting from tomorrow, you will be The Queen of Byzantium! In the future, even if you marry him, the whole country will marry him. In this case, your status will be extremely noble."

"Father... no, you can continue to be the king." Sophia quickly refused.

But John V became harsher in his words: "Why are you so disobedient? I told you that Byzantium is about to perish! When you came back, you also saw the city walls and ruins everywhere. If the Ottomans come again at this time, , even if all the people of Byzantium are wiped out, we can’t hold it anymore!”

Hearing this, Sophia had no choice but to remain silent.

"However, if you ascend the throne tomorrow and Mr. Luo Hang comes forward to clarify your relationship with King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be different." John V said this with a glint in his eyes. , he said to Sophia: "Go quickly and ask Mr. Luo to come in."

"Okay!" Sophia nodded.

She walked out of the bedroom.

When I got outside, I saw Luo Hang.

Sophia said: "Mr. Luo, my father wants to see you."

"it is good!"

Luo Hang smiled and nodded, and approached the bedroom.

There are all his people outside, and he is not afraid of any danger.

What's more, John V was already terminally ill.

And he, Luo Hang, is still young and powerful.

He also had a gun on him.

Luo Hang entered the palace, saluted first, and then said: "My King of Byzantium, I hope you can take care of yourself until you recover."

"Mr. Luo can actually speak our Byzantine language." John V forced himself on, smiled, and said, "I heard that Mr. Luo seems to be proficient in the languages ​​of France, England, and the Bourbon region, right?"

"Yes, my Majesty." Luo Hang nodded with a smile and explained: "How can I do business with Western countries if I don't know the languages ​​of these countries? However, I have heard that in fact, the areas where these countries are located, It used to be the territory of the Byzantine Dynasty!”

"Yes."

John V nodded and said: "We in Byzantium are the orthodox Romans, and the claims of those places are within the territory of the Holy Roman Empire. It seems that your master, King Qin, wants to marry my daughter because of the claims of these places. Right?"

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Princess Sophia are indeed true love. However, that is just their personal relationship. His Royal Highness Qin Wang has always been very clear about public and private matters. What he told me is that if it is from a private point of view, he will protect Princess Sophia, no No harm from anyone." Luo Hang is now a veteran in diplomacy.

After all, he was talking with the French royal family and having discussions with the English royal family.

Although problems like John V were acute, Luo Hang dealt with them with ease.

“What if it’s from the perspective of cooperation between the two countries?”

John V asked.

Luo Hang smiled and said: "Then we have to talk carefully about the conditions that Ming Dynasty will give to His Majesty after Byzantium merged with Ming Dynasty."

"Please tell me, let me listen." John V adjusted his posture, propped himself up with a pillow, and talked with Luo Hang.

"Within a year, Byzantium will be electrified, there will be high-rise buildings, and a 20-meter-high, ten-meter-thick city wall that no one can break through. In addition, there will be elite soldiers from the Ming Dynasty coming to guard it, and there will be artillery... There will be a large number of merchants from Ming Dynasty coming to Byzantium, and this place will become a land trade bridgehead connecting the East and the West, the economy will develop very rapidly, and the people will have endless money!"

As soon as Luo Hang opened his mouth, his trump card was very clear.

"What is electrification?" John V didn't understand.

At this time, electricity had not yet been invented in the West!
Luo Hang smiled slightly.

He had already prepared it.

Get a flashlight and turn it on.

"This is our great invention, His Highness the King of Qin. This kind of electricity can not only light up the night, but can also be used in many places, and can even make machinery move. Moreover, it can also be used for cooking, boiling water... literally everything. cannot!"

Luo Hang introduced John V and took out his gun at the same time.

boom!
A loud gunshot.

At this time, the frightened Sophia rushed in quickly.

"Father!" Sophia shouted.

Then, he saw Luo Hang put away the gun with a smile, and John V was intact, but he widened his eyes and stared at the target where Luo Hang had just shot... There, an iron pillar, Got punched and pierced.

"This is also a weapon invented by our Highness the King of Qin!" Luo Hang smiled and said: "Of course, there are also cannons that can hit targets hundreds of miles away from here. Your Majesty, Byzantine, our Highness's conditions , you can really think about it!"

With that said, Luo Hang saluted and then withdrew.

"Father, are you...are you okay?" Sophia stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine..."

John V shook his head, and then asked seriously: "My daughter, you have been outside for more than a year, do you know what electricity is, and do you have those weapons that Mr. Luo just mentioned?"

"Well, I know that."

Sophia said: "That is an existence that can make the whole world tremble!"

"is it?"

After hearing this, John V's eyes became firmer.
